GC3 Crashes to Desktop - Retribution Campaign

Good day,

 

I just completed the classic campaign (Crusade - The Return) and would love to move on to Retribution, however the game crashes to desktop following the "spinning hurricane system" loading animation.

 

Things I've tried:

- Check file integrity from Epic client

- Delete the "GC3Crusade" folder from "My Games"

- Checked the "debug.err" file, nothing obvious in here, no errors or anything, can upload if required?

- Uninstalled, cleaned game files and registry, re-installed

- Updated Windows (10 22H2) as well as graphics drivers (GeForce v528.02)

 

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks!
